Thomas is 32 years old and he is still single.
One day a friend asked,
“Why aren’t you married? Can’t you find a woman who will be a good wife?”
Thomas replied,
“Actually, I’ve found many women I wanted to marry, but when I bring them home to meet my parents, my mother doesn’t like them.”
His friend thinks for a moment and says,
“I’ve got the perfect solution, just find a girl who’s just like your mother.”
A few months later they meet again and his friend says,
“Did you find the perfect girl? Did your mother like her?”
With a frown on his face, Thomas answers,
“Yes, I found the perfect girl. She was just like my mother. You were right, my mother liked her very much.”
The friend said, “Then what’s the problem?”
Thomas replied,
“My father doesn’t like her.”

Looking great!
Airfix have obviously come a long way since we had to glue the guns through a giant ring that was the gunners hands!
Ian
The have indeed Ian.
I ended up cutting the gunners away from the guns leaving just the fixing lug and ring to fit into the turret.
If I remember correctly the pilots use to look like the "Elephant" men?

Thanks @AliGauld, @Hamden, and @franky boy.
Engine nacelles got a coat of NATO Black.
And a second applied to the Wimpey.
Let that dry then mask up for the camo, Dark Green over Dark Earth.

Thanks @Spookytooth for the shout out,
I ‘m liking your take on tackling the internal geodetic structure, on the back of this I’ve placed an online order for one to give it a go.
Here’s my take on tackling all things chrome: MOLOTOW Liquid Chrome.
😉
Not a problem sir, @Retired Bob was the one who pointed me in that direction.

Looking nice Simon
Quick question, I note you have glued the fuselage together, I'm
guessing you have a way to put the front/rear turrets in after post glue/paint??
If so, would you mind sharing your secret please, as I was going to leave out
the guns in my build if, having to put in turrets when gluing the fuselage together.
Thanks
Alan
Hi Alan, According to the destructions the turrets are fitted after the two halves of the fuselage are glued together.
As for the guns themselves , they are moulded into the "Holding" part that attaches to the turret bottom.
I will post a pic later.

My word Tony, you have/are creating a piece of art worthy of the Tate.
Remarkable what can be done with a little bit of know how and one hell of a lot of skill.

We had Garlic and cheese flatbread with our`s.
Thanks @cobraleader, @amos brierley, @elger, @Hamden, @CH-53D, and @dogsbody.
After having a battle with the side windows I managed to get around to gluing on the appenges .
Just leaves me to block any holes up Fnar and give her a coat of primer.

If I was trying to be humourous I would refer you Track Three Side 3 of Dirty Deeds or Track 1 Side 2 if you have the Australian version but I would never be so obvious in a family forum.
I would post the track but forum mods would of had kittens.

A bit slower at the moment Alistair but getting closer each day.
Thanks @Hamden, @dogsbody, @elger, @amos brierley and @Stew Dapple.
Bomb aimers window fitted.
Seam filled and sanded.
Window added.
Engines together ready for mounting (Fnar).
Firewalls added, but I cannot see why they detailed them, nowt can be seen once the nacelles are fitted.
Tail wheel done.
Time for tea, Lasagne...

Short Clean Jokes V

A couple had their first baby.
After a week or so the mother thought she could use a break and went shopping leaving the little baby with the proud father.
It was only a short while before the baby started to cry.
The perplexed father tried all of the tricks that he remembered his wife doing but to no avail.
Finally after a half hour in desperation he went to the doctor.
After checking all of the regular things the doctor discovered it was just a dirty diaper.
“I don’t understand the perplexed father said “I knew it was dirty, but the diaper package said specifically that it was good up to 8 pounds!”
